California SB938 establishes training requirements for peace officers, excluding federal immigration enforcement experience.

California SB938 mandates that service as a federal immigration enforcement officer does not qualify as training for California peace officers. The bill requires the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) commission to establish a certification program for peace officers, excluding those with federal immigration enforcement experience. It emphasizes the need for California-specific training and experience to ensure public safety and community trust. The commission must issue certificates or proof of eligibility to eligible peace officers and track their certification status.
